About your instructor
Rachel Jamison Webster is an award-winning author and professor of creative writing. She has taught at Northwestern University for 20 years, and has published five books and dozens of essays, poems, and articles. Her book of ancestral nonfiction Benjamin Banneker and Us was named a “Best Book of 2023” by The New Yorker and was an “Editor’s Pick” by The New York Times. Rachel’s book of poetry, Mary is a River, was written in the voice of Mary Magdalene and was a finalist for the National Poetry Series. Her book The Sea Came Up & Drowned combines her collages and “mined” erasure poems to meditate on our extractive relationship to the earth. It has been turned into a choral symphony that will be performed by Donald Nally’s ensemble The Crossing in cities throughout the U.S. and globally in 2026.
Rachel has also practiced yogic meditation, psychic meditation, and energy healing for more than 20 years. She combines these practices in her teaching. Read more about Rachel and her process here.
